In the win, Alabama originally came out of the gate struggling, especially on offense, and eventually trailed 17-0 at one point in the second quarter.
However, Alabama came roaring back late in the second quarter to tie the game, with a 50-yard pick six from Zabien Brown a key play in doing so. The Crimson Tide also carried over that success into the second half, and in all, went on to outscore Oklahoma since falling behind 17-0 a combined 34-7.
Alabama was able to win despite gaining only 260 yards of total offense as well, while also going 2-of-12 on third downs.
